Take the fast track to turning your creative ideas into content for the world to hear with the black Arturia MiniFuse 2, a portable 2x2 USB Type-C audio/MIDI interface that combines great sound with operational simplicity and a robust software bundle. With its two low-noise mic / line / instrument preamps, the MiniFuse 2 helps singer-songwriters, musicians, podcasters, and online creators get clean, quality recordings. It also features a virtual loopback channel to enable easy capture of computer audio alongside the live input, such as a voiceover or guitar playthrough.
Despite the MiniFuse 2's compact size, it provides plenty of connectivity. In addition to dual XLR-1/4" combo inputs, there are 1/4" speaker and headphone outputs with individual volume controls, traditional 5-pin MIDI sockets for integrating MIDI gear, and a built-in USB 2.0 Type-A hub that's perfect for hooking up a keyboard controller. The bundled software titles—Ableton Live Lite, Analog Lab Intro, Native Instruments GUITAR RIG 6 LE, Arturia FX, and more—deliver loads of interesting sounds and cool effects, plus a highly capable and popular music production DAW.
